We divide 159499 by 444
We want to divide 159499 by 444.

Going ahead to step 1:
444 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 444

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 444 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 444

On to step 3:
444 can be fit into 159 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 159.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 159 to get 159.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 159, then repeat: 1594 / 444

Step 4:
When dividing 1594 by 444, we get 3 with a remainder of 262.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 1332 from 1594, we get 262.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 262 and continue with: 2629 / 444

Let's proceed to step 5:
444 goes into 2629 5 times with a remainder of 409.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 2220 from 2629 to get 409.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 409, then repeat: 4099 / 444

Going ahead to step 6:
4099 divided by 444 is 9 with a remainder of 103.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 359.0
Subtracting 3996 from 4099 leaves us with 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 1030 by 444, we get 2 and a remainder of 142.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 359.2
Deduct 888 from 1030 and we're left with 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 444 fits into 1420 3 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 359.23
Subtract 1332 from 1420 to get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
880 divided by 444 is 1 with a remainder of 436.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 359.231
If we subtract 444 from 880, we get 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
444 can be fit into 4360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 364.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 359.2319
Subtracting 3996 from 4360 leaves us with 364.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
444 can be fit into 3640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 359.23198
Subtract 3552 from 3640 to get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
880 divided by 444 is 1 with a remainder of 436.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 359.231981
Deduct 444 from 880 and we're left with 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
444 goes into 4360 9 times with a remainder of 364.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 359.2319819
If we subtract 3996 from 4360, we get 364.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 3640 by 444, we get 8 and a remainder of 88.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 359.23198198
Subtracting 3552 from 3640 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 359.23198198 with a balance of 8.8e-08.
